Does VPS support IPv6 proxy? Proxy Configuration Tutorial for Next Generation Internet Protocol

The right way to play with IPv6 proxies on a VPS

I've been asked recently by a number of old timers in the online business:Can I get an IPv6 proxy with a VPS?IPv6 now has a global penetration rate of more than 40%, and countries like Germany have long taken it as their mainstay. If we don't know how to play IPv6 in the agency business, it's like opening a restaurant without a gas stove.

Hardcore Benefits of IPv6 Proxy

Let's start with a real one, now a lot of websites check IPv4 address strictly, but IPv6 address database is updated slowly, and it is difficult to recognize. For example, if you use ipipgo's dynamic residential agent to open an IPv6 address, the success rate of data collection can be directly doubled. There is a cold knowledge here:IPv6's /64 subnet can allocate 1.8 x 10^19 addressesIt's enough to get you to the end of your days.

 Test local IPv6 connectivity
curl --interface eth0 -6 ifconfig.co
 If the IPv6 address is returned, the configuration was successful

VPS Practical Configuration Manual

Take Ubuntu 20.04 as an example, and take care of the basic configuration in three steps:

Step 1: Confirm that the VPS supports IPv6

Log into the console and look at the NIC configuration and look for a paragraph like this:

inet6 2400:8907::f03c:91ff:fe69:1384/64 scope global

Step 2: Install the agent software

It is recommended to use squid to do forwarding, easy to configure and stable:

sudo apt install squid
sudo nano /etc/squid/squid.conf
 Add these lines
http_port 3128
http_access allow all
forwarded_for delete

Step 3: Bind the IPv6 address

Add this parameter to the squid configuration:

http_port [2400:8907::1]:3128

Restart the service and you're done:systemctl restart squid

The perfect match for ipipgo's program

Too much work to build your own proxy? Go directly to ipipgo's ready-made program is more hassle-free:

Focusing on the tawdry operation of dynamic residential proxies: add to the code aX-Forwarded-ForThe header, in conjunction with the IPv6 address, the site can't tell if it's a real person or a machine:

import requests
proxies = {
    'http': 'http://ipipgo动态代理地址:端口',
    'headers': {'X-Forwarded-For': '2400:8500:1300::1'}
}

Guide to avoiding the pit (QA session)

Q: What can I do if I can't connect to the IPv6 proxy?
First check if the VPS firewall has port 3128 open, and then use thetelnet [ipv6 address] portTest connectivity. If you use ipipgo's service, they have real-time connectivity monitoring in their backend.

Q: How do I choose between dynamic and static proxies?
If you need to change IP frequently, choose dynamic (such as grabbing a limited number of goods), and if you need long-term stability, use static (such as account number). ipipgo Both packages support IPv6, depending on the business needs of flexible switching.

Q: Does it support SOCKS5 protocol?
Required! In ipipgo background generation proxy address, choose socks5:// protocol header on it. Measured download speed than HTTP faster than 30%, especially when passing large files thief obvious.

Let's get real.

The IPv6 proxy thing may seem like a pain in the ass to play with at first, but it really smells good after you get familiar with it. Especially with professional service providers like ipipgo, a lot of configurations are already pre-built by them. Lastly, I'd like to remind you:Start with pay-as-you-go packages during the testing phase, don't come up and buy a yearly subscription, it's the best value for the business that suits you.
